    NOTE:
    • Be careful not to damage the new base gasket.
    • Be careful not to bend the fuel gauge sending unit.
    • Do not coat the base gasket with oil.

  1. Align the marks (B) on the fuel tank and fuel tank unit, then insert the fuel tank unit into the fuel tank until it sits on the base gasket.
    NOTE: To avoid a fuel leak, check the base gasket, visually or by hand, to make sure it is not pinched.

    NOTE:
    • Before tightening, align the marks (C) on the fuel tank and locknut.
